_ Oct. 21 - An officer responded to a property damage complaint at a Colby residence. The officer met with the complainant, who suspected his ex-girlfriend of entering his home and tearing apart his bedroom. A female party who also lives at the residence said she saw the ex-girlfriend and another person walk through the house and go up to the complainant’s bedroom. The witness said she heard some noise and thought someone was moving furniture.

The officer observed the bedroom, which was left in a mess. The bed mattress had been moved, clothing was all over the floor, a TV had been taken off a piece of furniture and various items and money were scattered everywhere.

An open gallon of paint was among the items, and paint was splattered on the floor, clothing, wall and bed. Shoe prints were left in the paint. The complainant told the officer that some pictures were missing from his wall, along with a piece of wire art. The officer photographed the room for his report.

The officer called the ex-girlfriend’s phone and left her a message. She called back after the officer was off duty, and he was unable to connect with her before writing his report.

_ Oct. 26 - An officer was dispatched to an Abbotsford apartment for a noise complaint. Dispatch reported that the caller could hear yelling and things being broken.

The officer arrived and met with a male and female party. The male party said he was attempting to fix their satellite box when it fell off their TV stand. He also said he was moving some boxes and dropped one of them. The officer was shown several boxes, but they were all empty and not capable of making a loud noise if dropped.

The male party was speaking loudly, as he seemed upset about being the subject of a complaint. The officer had to tell him to lower his voice multiple times, while the female party almost appeared to be cowering.

A Clark County deputy arrived on scene so the two parties could be separated. The female party confirmed the male party’s version of events. She insisted multiple times that nothing physical happened, and the offi cer did not see any injuries on her. The deputy spoke separately to the male party, who told the deputy that the items fell while he was having sex with the female party. He said they were too embarrassed to initially disclose this information.

_ Oct. 26 - An officer responded to an Abbotsford business in response to a vehicle complaint. The officer met with a manager who said a pickup truck had done a burnout in the company’s parking lot two nights in a row. The manager showed the officer surveillance video of the truck doing a power turn on the concrete part of the parking lot.

The manager told the officer that the truck was seen parked at a residence in Abbotsford, and provided him with the address. The officer located the truck and noticed signs of wear on the tires. He was eventually able to make contact with the driver, who said he had recently purchased the truck and wanted to “test it out.” The officer told him about the complaint from the company and issued him a citation for disorderly conduct with a motor vehicle.

_ Oct. 27 - An officer was driving on STH 13 in Colby when he observed two juveniles standing next to a commercial building, one of which appeared to have a lighter in his hand. It looked as if the juvenile was trying to light a bush on fire.

The officer confronted the juvenile and asked why he was trying to start a fire. The juvenile said he was just walking home. When the officer told him what he observed, the juvenile said he started a stick on fire but then put it out right away. The officer warned him not to start things on fire, as it could spread and cause major damage. The juvenile said he understood and would stop starting fires.

_ Oct. 28 - An officer was dispatched to a local nursing home in reference to a disturbance between two residents. The offi cer met with the complainant, who said his roommate got upset with him because the lights were turned on in their room when a nurse came in for a blood draw. The complainant said his roommate grabbed him by his shoulder and told him to keep the lights off.

The complainant said he wanted to report the incident because he wanted to be moved to another room. He denied being afraid of his roommate, but said he wanted to be moved to a different room.

The officer went and spoke to the roommate, who acknowledged that he was upset about the light being turned on so early in the morning. However, he denied touching the complainant. The officer also spoke to the director of the facility, who agreed to move the complainant into his own room.

_ Oct. 29 - An officer was given a Social Security card that was found on the floor of an Abbotsford gas station the previous day. The officer tracked down the card owner’s mother in Abbotsford, and returned it to her.

_ Oct. 29 - An officer saw a vehicle with no taillights on after dark, traveling on STH 13 in Colby. The officer pulled the vehicle over and met with the driver. Dispatch reported that the driver had a warrant out of Clark County for failure to appear in court for driving with a revoked license. The bond amount was $250. The driver was placed under arrest and taken to the police station. He posted the full $250 and was released after a new court date was set.

_ Oct. 30 - An officer responded to a fraud complaint at an Abbotsford store. He met with an employee who said a male suspect had made two fraudulent purchases using the name of a business in a nearby city. The complainant said the business in question confirmed that the purchases were not authorized.

The complainant said another employee had gotten a photograph of the suspect and his vehicle’s license plate. The officer used the plate number to identify the suspect as a man in Medford. He also used social media to confirm his identity. The offi cer got several phone numbers for the suspect, but none of them worked.

_ Oct. 31 - An officer was dispatched to a Colby gas station in reference to a bag of drugs that was found at the store. A store employee showed the officer surveillance footage of two men coming into the store and one of them dropping a bag of white powder near the checkout counter. The officer recognized the powder as methamphetamine.

One of the employees wrote down the male parties’ license plate number. The officer was able to identify a suspect in Wausau using the plate number. A still photo of the two male suspects was included in the file.
